Sir, you must know much more than I do about innocense. However, I feel whether drafted or enlisting voluntarily to protect ones freedom is a form of innocense. I believe when someone is born and then brainwashed into certain norms of their particular culture they believe what they are taught whether right or wrong. I'm really curious who actually is right when it comes to war.
I'm glad it's not my decision to make. When you say unborn, I don't know whether you mean a child in a woman's womb during war or an unborn child that never actually experiences the horror. I have a hard time thinking which is worse. I really don't know why I'm continuing this discussion because I've already admitted; I am far from innocent of many things. I think the grey area in life will soon or later engulf us. Until that happen people will die in the name of war innocent or not as they have for centuries.
